I'm running low on cars for Hometown Hot Rodding.
Believe it or not, I've got a shortage of cars to feature in our Hometown Hot Rodding section. The problem isn't only the low volume, but the entries aren't complete enough to feature.
I really enjoy getting you guys into the magazine but I can't do it alone. I'm asking you to please submit your cool cars and projects to us. Jam pack those envelopes with tons of information.
Here's what I need:
A couple paragraphs about you and your car.
This should include things like how you got into cars, your background, your family, previous cars, hobbies, information about how you got the car, what you've done to it, what you're going to do to it, and what you do with it (example: drag race, show, cruise, daily drive...) and anything else that makes you and your car special. This is really important because I like to make each car
Photos
I need photos of the exterior, interior, engine bay, and other features of the car. The most important things to me are that the files are large (at least full-screen without being distorted), and that the car isn't cropped out in any way. The better the pictures, the more impressive the article will look.
Technical information
Each feature has a By The Numbers section that I need populated by the owner. It would be really cool if you guys could send me this information with the photos and everything else. The same form is used for every feature car in our magazine so you can just copy from there or from the list below.
